Decoration plates - Alfons Mucha - Topaz- Precious Stones

Alfons Maria Mucha (1860-1939) was a Czech painter, poster artist, graphic artist, illustrator, photographer and craftsman who is considered one of the outstanding representatives of Art Nouveau.

The Precious Stones and Flowers series was created in 1900. Each of the four sections of the portrait shows a woman facing a combination of gemstone and flower; Ruby, emerald, amethyst and topaz. The complete work is often sold as four parts, but his charm is lost visibly.
